  • The National Roadmap for Research, Development and Innovation: a New Beginning for RDI Cooperation Between Companies and Research Organisations

    The National Roadmap for Research, Development and Innovation: a New Beginning for RDI Cooperation Between Companies and Research Organisations

    23 April 2020 Solutions for a sustainable and developing society Objectives and targets of the National Roadmap for Research, Development and Innovation: A new beginning for RDI cooperation between companies and research organisations Finland’s competitiveness and wellbeing are built on competence, research and innovations. Finland’s rise from the emergency caused by the pandemic and success in global competition require the production of new knowledge, innovations that bring social benefits and added value, and a high level of competence. Research and innovation activities are undergoing change. Alongside universities and research institutions, there is a narrow group of spearheading companies that invest heavily in research, development and innovation (RDI) activities. Finland needs more companies engaged in RDI activities. The research, development and innovation of companies in the SME sector must also be activated. A share of turnover larger than at present must be invested in RDI activities. It must be possible to step up and intensify public–private partnerships with new incentives for cooperation, such as a new partnership model. Risk-sharing between companies and the public sector must be predictable, simple and encouraging. Diversification of the economic structure and improvement of the productivity trend must be one of the most important long-term goals of innovation policy. Achievement of this goal requires that those doing RDI work are supported by new policy measures. Incentives for research and innovation must diversify the utilisation of research-based knowledge in society and must encompass all aspects of society’s activities. Research and innovation activities can improve the 1 resilience of society and its operational capacity in unforeseen crises, such as the exceptional situation posed to society and the economy by the coronavirus.

    Universiteit Maastricht Monitoring and analysis of policies and public financing instruments conducive to higher levels of R&D investments The “POLICY MIX” Project Country Review Finland Submitted by: Marcel de Heide Technopolis March 2007 Introduction and Policy mix concept Introduction and Policy mix concept The policy mix project This report is one of the 31 country reviews produced as internal working papers for the research project “Monitoring and analysis of policies and public financing instruments conducive to higher levels of R&D investments” (Contract DG-RTD- 2005-M-01-02, signed on 23 December 2005). This project is a research project conducted for DG Research, to serve as support for policy developments in Europe, notably in the framework of CREST activities. It does not form part of the ERAWATCH project, but the working documents are made available on ERAWATCH webpages for the purpose of steering a debate on the policy mix concept. The “Policy Mix” project is run by a consortium of 7 partners: · UNU-MERIT (The Netherlands), consortium leader · Technopolis (The Netherlands) · PREST – University of Manchester (United Kingdom) · ZEW (Germany) · Joanneum Research (Austria) · Wiseguys Ltd. (United Kingdom) · INTRASOFT International (Luxembourg). Each country review is produced by an individual author, and provides expert’s view on the policy mix in the country. This report is not approved by the Commission or national authorities, and is produced under the responsibility of its author. The role of country reviews is to provide an exploratory analysis of the current policy mixes in place in all countries and detect the most important areas of interactions between instruments as well as new modes of policy governance that are particularly adapted (or detrimental) for the building of policy mixes.

    Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the Digisami Corpus

    Researching Less-Resourced Languages – the DigiSami Corpus Kristiina Jokinen University of Helsinki, Finland and AIRC, AIST Tokyo Waterfront, Japan [email protected] Abstract Increased use of digital devices and data repositories has enabled a digital revolution in data collection and language research, and has also led to important activities supporting speech and language technology research for less-resourced languages. This paper describes the DigiSami project and its research results, focussing on spoken corpus collection and speech technology for the Fenno-Ugric language North Sami. The paper also discusses multifaceted questions on ethics and privacy related to data collection for less-resourced languages and indigenous communities. Keywords: corpus collection, under-resourced languages, North Sami with new technology applications. The main motivation 1. Introduction was to improve digital visibility and viability of the target languages, and to explore different choices for encouraging Several projects and events have increased research and maintaining the use of less-resourced languages in the activities for under-resourced languages during the past digitalized world. The goals of the DigiSami project are years. For instance, the DLDP-project (Digital Language discussed in Jokinen (2014) and Jokinen et al. (2017). Diversity Project) is to advance the sustainability of Europe’s regional and minority languages, while the Flare- The DigiSami project deals with the North Sami language net network and the LRE Map (Calzolari et al. 2012) have (Davvisámegiela) which belongs to the Fenno-Ugric had a big impact on sharing language resources and making language family and is one of the nine Sami languages speech corpora freely available.
